Microbotox is also known as intradermal Botox, a treatment that targets the sweat and oil glands in the skin as well as the erector pili muscles (these muscles are responsible for opening the pores). The Botox is injected under the skin, rather than the muscle – making your skin more delicate, poreless, and lifted.
Our Microbotox Injection temporarily weakens these muscles and glands, making the skin noticeably tighter, smoother, and more refined. By injecting a minuscule dose of this anti-wrinkle potion all over your face with a novel injection technique, our Microbotox Injection is able to give you less oily, less visible pores as well as firmer skin.
The Microbotox Injection is done on a superficial level and does not affect the muscles that are involved in facial expressions, like the conventional Botox injections we have come to know and somehow fear. My Bliss Clinic’s Microbotox Injection can be ideally done immediately after a conventional Botox treatment.
Our Microbotox Injection may also be a solution for people suffering from acne by suppressing oil production and inhibiting inflammation. This treatment allows the skin to heal and appear more youthful thus boosting your mood and self-confidence. Although it should not be the first treatment against acne, it is something worth considering for those who suffer from acne and have not seen results from other treatments they have taken.
How does the Microbotox Injection work?
Studies show that Botulinum Toxin (BOTOX® or Dysport®) has beneficial effects on the sebaceous glands (oil glands), blood vessels in the face, and on skin texture, this has been found and confirmed by many experienced practitioners.
Our Microbotox Injection does not just affect muscles of facial expressions. Fine muscles in the skin (smooth muscles) which are the same ones that give you goosebumps are also similarly affected by Botulinum Toxin (BOTOX® or Dysport®). These smooth muscles are known to control the skin pore size as well as oil and sweat production.
When small doses are injected into the skin, these muscles activities are blocked, leading to smaller pores hence giving a tightening effect leading to a noticeable “face-lift”. Fine wrinkles will be diminished and the skin texture will be more refined. The other effects are the non-oily, matte and powdered look.
Who should go for the Microbotox Injection?
Our Microbotox Injection/Micro-Anti Wrinkle Injection is recommended for those who want to:
- Reduce pore size
- Control oil or sweat production
- Reduce fine lines
- Lessen acne breakout
Is the treatment painful? Is it safe?
The treatment is well tolerable after the application of numbing cream prior to the procedure. Very fine needles are used during the Microbotox Injection. It is safe for all skin types.
Is there any downtime after the treatment?
There will be redness and swelling for half a day, rarely minor bruising which may take about a week to resolve. These can be covered with make-up after the Microbotox Injection.
How soon can I see some result?
You can see results in an average of 3 to 7 days after the Microbotox Injection.
How long can the effects of Microbotox Injection last?
Our Microbotox Injection lasts about 4 to 6 months.
For more refined pore size, I strongly recommend unclogging your pores with either the POREfessional Facial or the Crystal Clear Facial prior to this treatment. The pores have to be cleaned in order for the microbotox injections to shrink them for a better appearance.
